H&M eyeshadow stick review

I love H&M. Unfortunately, the H&M close to me doesn't have a lot of beauty products to offer. Or they are sold out a lot of the time.

In Prague, I got a bunch of beauty products that I didn't get my hands on here! Today I'll be showing you my H&M eyeshadow sticks.

Ik heb drie kleurtjes gehaald: "Black", "Brown" and "Pink". I like the packaging, but I think the names are just boring. What can I say? I love a good name for a make-up product.

The eye pens can be used on your eyelid, but it can also be used as a base for eyeshadow.

As you can see, the pigmentation of this product is just fine, I think the colours are really pretty. I just don't get why they called the lightest colour "pink", I myself think it looks champagne, but that's fine. The eye pens are very smooth and creamy, which makes it easy to apply, but it makes it also easy to blend out the edges a little bit. I prefer using a special haired concealer brush rather than a normal flat brush though.

PS This black is PER-FECT for smokey eyes!

Blue skies, blue eyes

These last few days the weather has been quite nice and not only my clothes have shown that, my makeup did also. Naturally, I've been wearing less makeup, but I've also been wearing brighter makeup!

Today I wanted to show you my colour pop makeup look. This is probably the easiest look ever!

 

 Since it was so hot today I decided not to put on eyeshadow. I just did my signature liquid eyeliner and some mascara. Voilà. If you want to leave it like that, you can. If you want to spice it up, that's possible too! That's what I did!
Just take any colour pencil eyeliner (I used a turqoise/teal eyeliner pencil for this) and line your waterline. If the line fades quickly, you can take an angled brush and some teal eyeshadow and put it over the pencil liner. It's a very good trick for keeping pencil eyeliner on, but I don't do it because my eyes are too sensitive.

And that's all you have to do to achieve this summer look! If you want to keep it more neutral you can use purple eyeliner. I personally like green and blue a lot more!

EOTD: Cashmere plum

Hello you guys! 

Ever since getting my new Catrice absolute nude palette, I've been experimenting with it quite a lot. I have found three new looks so far and today I'm going to show you the first look!

 

For this look I used - of course - my absolute nude palette by Catrice, but I also used a Calvin Klein sheer cream eyeshadow! I applied this as a base before I started with the eyeshadow. Why, you ask? Because putting this pink colour as a base, will make the baby pink eyeshadow in the palette show up more, and it'll also be something for the eyeshadow to stick to. The Calvin Klein cream eyeshadow is called "Cashmere plum".

After applying the Calvin Klein cream eyeshadow, I applied the second colour of the nude palette (starting from the left) on my lid. I applied the fourth colour in the nude palette in my crease and the fifth colour (very lightly!) in my outer corner.

Next I applied Essence liquid ink eyeliner (I made a wing with it) and I also lined my lower lashline a bit with the L'Oréal Color Riche Le Smoky eyeliner pencil in 201 "Black Velour". (I forgot my mascara in the first two pictures but I was using Essence volume curl mascara.
For my eyebrows I used my Catrice eyebrow pencil and my Catrice eyebrow set.

What do you think of this look?

Catrice absolute nude eyeshadow palette review

Hello you guys! How are you doing?

 Today I'm reviewing my newest and favourite nude palette.

I got this nude palette from Catrice. I have been searching this palette for a long time - it was very popular and it was always sold out. You can already guess how happy I am that I finally have it. I have been experimenting with it quite a lot lately and I have even found a new "everyday look". Would you like to see a tutorial?

So this is how my palette looks, I think it looks fabulous! It reminds me of the Urban Decay naked palette. It holds six nude colours.

Here are the swatches! The first picture is how the colours look with natural light and the second picture is how they look with flash.

The pigmentation could have been a little bit better. I don't have problems with getting the colours on my eyelid though. Easy to apply and blend, no fall out.

Aside from the remark that the pigmentation could have been a little bit better, I have no other remarks. I do really like this palette. It holds colours for any occasion and any kind of look, love it! I already want to get a second one, just in case I hit pan on one of the colours soon.

I would recommend this palette to everyone who is just starting out with makeup or to girls who just really like the neutral look on their face. This palette is really nice ànd affordable.

Essence 3D "Irresistible Vanilla Latte" eyeshadow review

Hi everyone! Happy Friday!

Essence has added a lot of interesting items to their collection. I'm glad I got some items to test them. So far I haven't been disappointed by the new Essence items, so I'm exited to see how the new 3D eyeshadows work.

The Essence 3D eyeshadows were hidden in a little corner in the drugstore I went to. I almost didn't see them! Just when I was about to leave, they caught my eye and after taking a closer look, I decided to adopt two of the eyeshadow duo's.

I love these eyeshadows! Look how beautiful they are!

The first 3D eyeshadow I tested was "Irresistible vanilla latte", this is the one that I'm going to be reviewing today. I think it looked amazing and I just couldn't leave it at the store. One side is a gold shimmery colour and the other colour appears to be broken white.
You can't see it in the pictures but it also has like a pearly shine to it. So pretty!

The swatches...

And what I feared happened: the colours barely show up on my skin. I knew this was going to happen because light colours on a light skin... It's just not a good idea. I do think these colours would look fabulous on tan ladies.
Well it's not a disaster for me because the plan all along was to wear this with the colours from the other duo eyeshadow, but i just wanted to show you how the two colours looked on their own.

I used the "broken white" on my lid and the shimmery gold colour in my crease. If you try REALLY hard you might see some of the shimmers. Maybe.

I really do like the colours, I would just suggest to wear them over a darker eyeshadow colour or to use them as highlight if you're just as pale as me.

If you're nice and tan, I think this will look lovely on you! (This is actually the first time I regret being so pale!)

Have a lovely day!

New In: FM Makeup palette ♥

Hello everyone!

How are you all doing? 

I don't think I have mentioned this in a post before but one of my friends had a birthday party and there was a makeup artist there! Unfortunately, I couldn't join the people at the party but my sister went there and proposed to get me something if I gave her money. I asked her to get me a nice eyeshadow palette if she found one she thought I'd like. I told her about pigmentation really quickly and gave her some money. I just hoped she would make the right choice. My sister was very excited when she got back from the party and she promised me I would like whatever she picked.

When asking for extra information about the product, because I was too curious, she told me that the palette was pretty big and I thought: "She's probably just telling me this to make me forget how much money she spent", but I have to say, she was right.

Yesterday I recieved the palette that my sister picked out for me! I was curious if I was going to like it or not, but after seeing it, holy moly this looks like heaven to me. Not only is the palette quite big, the pigmentation is outstanding and the colours are so cute! I think I'm in love!

So it comes in a cute, black box with golden letters on it. The brand is called "FM makeup", by the way.

The packaging is similar to the 'box' it came in. Black and gold. On the back it has a bunch of extra information about the product.

"Chocolate Mousse", that's the name of this palette.

 

And this is how it looks when you open it... I really love the "pattern" and the colours! I promise I'll do a make up look on this as soon as I can, I haven't used it yet, I have only swatched it. I can't wait! I will write a review about it too.

Oh, by the way, on the box there's also an explanation of how you can use the colours, which colour to put on the lid and which colour in the crease, all that kind of stuff.

 

 

Ah, I just love these colours! I can't stop repeating it, haha! I know the colour on the right isn't really that visible, but let's be honest, the lighting wasn't too good either. I took these pictures during lunch, at school.

The only reason I took these pictures at school is because I was too excited to wait until I got home!
